The weight hierarchy of the Kasami codes

Abstract The Kasami codes is a family of [2 2 m − 1, 3 m , 2 2 m −1 − 2 m −1 ] codes which are well known for their applications to construct sequences with optimal correlation magnitudes. The weight hierarchy of the Kasami codes is completely determined. It is also shown that the chain condition holds for these codes.
